This volume specifically covers the events from the Battle of Colenso in December 1899 to Lord Roberts's advance into the Free State in February 1900. The book explores the military strategies, challenges faced by the British forces, and the unfolding narratives of both British and Boer troops during the Second Boer War. At the start of this volume, the author sets the tone amidst a backdrop of British military failures and the atmospheric tension of the ongoing war. The narrative highlights the disappointments faced by British generals, whose tactics against the heavily fortified Boer positions resulted in disarray and despair among the forces and loyalists alike. Creswicke emphasizes the lessons learned from these early encounters, illustrating the evolution of military strategy as British forces adapt to the realities of guerrilla warfare while facing significant losses and the emotional strains of impending military actions. The opening portion lays the groundwork for a broader understanding of the conflict's landscape, setting in motion the complexities of military engagements that characterize the ongoing struggle in South Africa.
